Re: sinkie bride paid only $600 for AD photography, received 4000 pics still complain
Despite his 10 years experience, this was his first chinese wedding assignment and he did make this known to the couple. Initially the couple did expressed apprehension about hiring his service for their big days but went ahead anyway after the photographer reduced his fee from the usual $3k to $600. They also wanted the honour to be the first couple to engage this so-called celebrity photographer for their chinese wedding.
I was surprised that the photographer churned out 4000 photos for their wedding of which the couple released only about 10 photos. They were undeniably horrible but surely it was not fair to judge how the photographer fare based on 10 out of 4000 photos. Anyway, I think the couple may have gone a little overboard to go all out to condemn the photographer since he had already refunded them in full.
The moral of the story is never hire a person who is too inexperienced for an occasion you deem very important to you. If you want cheaper-faster-better and willing to be a guinea pig, good luck to you.

Not sure if the photographer showed her his past work for Chinese Weddings before taking on this job. I kind of like his work as lead photographer for Michele and Adam Hingst.
